Abstract:In contrast to the reported CCC-NHC pincer ligands that contain normal N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHC), herein we report an imidazole-based abnormal NHC (aNHC) pincer ligand, CCC-aNHC. The CCC-aNHC pincer Pt complex with two aNHC donors was synthesized via the in situ metalation and transmetalation methodology. The 1,3-phenylene(bis-2phenyl-3-butyl imidazolium) diiodide salt was reacted with Zr(NMe 2 ) 4 to generate a CCC-aNHC pincer zirconium complex in situ. It was transmetalated to Pt using [Pt(COD)Cl 2 ]. El… Show more
